I want you to close your eyes |
| [00:15.785] |
And vision the most beautiful place in the world |
| [00:18.535] |
If you in the hood on the ghetto street corner |
| [00:22.285] |
Come on this journey |
| [00:25.846] |
The best journey |
| [00:28.35] |
Thugz Mansion |
| [00:29.783] |
Acres of land and swimming pools and all that |
| [00:32.659] |
Check it out |
| [00:33.659]Nas] |
|
| [00:33.847] |
I' m capable of anything, my imagination can give me wings |
| [00:36.658] |
To fly like Ddoves over the streets watchin' many things |
| [00:39.471] |
Kids walkin' home from school on drug blocks, missionaries |
| [00:42.657] |
Pass out papers that read: Love God |
| [00:44.971] |
I see faces, cases, judges, juries, masons, lawyers and cops |
| [00:47.659] |
I watch because every thugs face is my mirror |
| [00:50.220] |
But this was one in particular |
| [00:51.783] |
This kid he was the vintage stick em up pro |
| [00:53.971] |
16years old, did his jail sentence, nowhere to go |
| [00:56.220] |
Every mornin calls his comrad to come and get him to smoke |
| [00:59.594] |
He insane, already gone mad |
| [01:02.04] |
Blames himself for his setbacks |
| [01:03.380] |
Dangerous street corners where his sets at |
| [01:05.440] |
Sling from dust to dawn, detectives act like they maniacs |
| [01:08.320] |
Chasin' him, his ass was flarin' |
| [01:10.126] |
Smokin' like a chimney, on REMY, of course he not carin' |
| [01:13.452] |
He need a place to go to keep his mind expandin' |
| [01:15.448] |
I give him a helpin' hand and, bring him out to Thugz Mansion |
| [01:18.115]J.Phoenix] |
|
| [01:18.427] |
Every corner, every city |
| [01:20.985] |
There' s a place where life' s a little easy |
| [01:23.423] |
Little Hennessy, laid back and cool |
| [01:26.173] |
Every hour, cause it' s all good |
| [01:28.863] |
Leave all the stress from the world outside |
| [01:31.675] |
Every wrong done will be alright |
| [01:34.987] |
Nothin but peace, love |
| [01:37.175] |
And street passion, every ghetto needs a Thugz Mansion |
| [01:39.673]Tupac] |
|
| [01:40.175] |
Dear momma don' t cry, your baby boy' s doin good |
| [01:42.615] |
Tell the homies I' m in heaven and they ain' t got hoods |
| [01:45.867] |
Seen a show with Marvin Gaye last night, it had me shook |
| [01:48.315] |
Drippin peppermint Schnapps, with Jackie Wilson, and Sam Cooke |
| [01:51.185] |
Then some lady named Billie Holiday |
| [01:52.875] |
Sang sittin there kickin it with Malcolm,' til the day came |
| [01:56.439] |
Little LaTasha sho' grown |
| [01:58.63] |
Tell the lady in the liquor store that she' s forgiven, so come home |
| [02:01.187] |
Maybe in time you' ll understand only God can save us |
| [02:04.375] |
When Miles Davis cuttin lose with the band |
| [02:07.63] |
Just think of all the people that you knew in the past |
| [02:09.687] |
that passed on, they in heaven, found peace at last |
| [02:12.563] |
Picture a place that they exist, together |
| [02:15.311] |
There has to be a place better than this, in heaven |
| [02:17.999] |
So right before I sleep, dear God, what I' m askin |
| [02:20.439] |
Remember this face, save me a place, in Thugz Mansion |
| [02:23.685]Chorus] |
|
| [02:23.939] |
Every corner, every city |
| [02:25.874] |
There' s a place where life' s a little easy |
| [02:28.374] |
Little Hennessy, laid back and cool |
| [02:31.62] |
Every hour, cause it' s all good |
| [02:33.808] |
Leave all the stress from the world outside |
| [02:37.220] |
Every wrong done will be alright |
| [02:40.662] |
Nothin but peace, love |
| [02:42.910] |
And street passion, every ghetto needs a Thugz Mansion |
| [02:45.480] |
A place where death doesn' t reside, just thugs who collide |
| [02:48.292] |
Not to start beef but spark trees, no cops rollin by |
| [02:50.980] |
No policemen, no homicide, no chalk on the streets |
| [02:54.163] |
No reason, for nobody' s momma to cry |
| [02:56.363] |
See I' m a good guy, I' m tryin to stick around for my daughter |
| [02:59.173] |
But if I should die, I know all of my albums support her |
| [03:01.797] |
This whole year' s been crazy, asked the Holy Spirit to save me |
| [03:04.566] |
Only difference from me and Ossie Davis, gray hair maybe |
| [03:06.878] |
Cause I feel like my eyes saw too much sufferin |
| [03:09.253] |
I' m just twentysomeodd years, I done lost my mother |
| [03:12.191] |
And I cried tears of joy, I know she smiles on her boy |
| [03:15.190] |
I dream of you more, my love goes to Afeni Shakur |
| [03:18.04] |
Cause like Ann Jones, she raised a ghetto king in a war |
| [03:20.878] |
And just for that alone she shouldn' t feel no pain no more |
| [03:23.502] |
Cause one day we' ll all be together, sippin heavnly champagne |
| [03:26.253] |
What angels saw, with golden wings in Thugz Mansion |
| [03:28.442]Chorus] |
|
| [03:28.815] |
Every corner, every city |
| [03:31.627] |
There' s a place where life' s a little easy |
| [03:34.02] |
Little Hennessy, laid back and cool |
| [03:36.815] |
Every hour, cause it' s all good |
| [03:39.566] |
Leave all the stress from the world outside |
| [03:42.254] |
Every wrong done will be alright |
| [03:44.315] |
Nothin but peace, love |
| [03:47.941] |
And street passion, every ghetto needs a Thugz Mansion |
